Worth knowing
Sunbird Boat Company; cover, cost and conditions
In the eighties and nineties Sunbird was one of the large entry level boatyards in the USA. The boats are light, inexpensive to run and are almost always used with an outboard. That is precisely why the engine details are the most important point in the contract: without a serial number the hull insurance only covers the hull in the event of theft.
The second point is the trailer. Sunbird boats mostly stand ashore and are towed to the water. Road transport, launching and craning are included with us, and the trailer is covered at no extra premium if its value is stated in the contract. A coupling lock noticeably reduces the risk of theft.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does the outboard have to be stated in the contract?
Yes, with manufacturer, power output and serial number. Otherwise only the hull is covered in the event of theft or damage.
Is the trailer included?
Yes, at no extra premium within the boat insurance, if you state the value of the trailer in the calculator.

For a series of this age there is no list price left. That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it, and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
For a series built in these years the market value and the replacement cost often differ widely. An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
